Dang.  They were one of my favorite shows at the old 9:30 and haven’t seen them since then

[GAY,GUY]

I had friends who darn right worshipped them back in the day.  I never, could get into them at all, and always questioned my friend's musical tastes based on such devotion to what I thought was a crap band.  It's funny, who we love as musical obsessions, and how they define us as people.

Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and his family just gave away the entire company to a specially designed set of trusts and nonprofit organizations. They were created to preserve the company’s independence and ensure that all of its profits — some $100 million a year — are used to combat climate change and protect undeveloped land around the globe.

They even paid taxes on the deal ($17.5m).

nor is punctuation... <hides>

just yankin' your chain, t'was easy pickins and i'm lazy AF.  and it's not as if i can claim the high ground: i type fast but not as fast as i think.  i'm constantly skipping a word ("didn't mean do that") or getting the ending of a word wrong ("after the the bomb explode") because my brain has moved on before my fingers were done.

By the way, I'm a protected class, so watch it or I'm sicking Kosmo on your for a DEI board violation

Roger Federer

Probably not the GOAT, but man, he was my favorite all time. Never a dude who made it look so absolutely effortless in his prime.

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

He's also a dude he overcame incredible odds to achieve greatness. Dude was born with 50% of his name being E-R and look what he did despite that.

can confirm, your math is correct
(since the first e in his last name isn't followed by an r, it's excluded)

This was my methodology, yes.
